The house and grounds were stunning and immaculate. Very peaceful in a beautiful rural area. The furnishings and kitchen utensils plentiful and high quality. Ange was easy to contact and very accommodating of our booking for a group of friends. Perfect for a relaxing vacation or long weekend. Easy to get to amenities in Hawkes Bay.

Great retreat for the family!
Our family had an absolute ball at the schoolhouse. It is lovely to learn more about the history and explore the area and river. We would love to come back! Thank you so much for a wonderful wind down before the silly season!

It called Riverside Luxury and you can't see the river at all. The heat pump didn't work and we froze. Paid for two night but had to move out after one.

This was a lovely quiet property, very well appointed and with lovely outdoor space for family games. Beds were very comfortable and the high ceilings are awesome and keep it cool.

A super tranquil property and very unique.
Facilities surpassed my expectations.
The thoughtfullness and kindness from Ange was breathtaking as she kindly helped my daughter in England, who requested flowers, wine and a hand written card for my 70th birthday! Thank you so much. It really made my day very special.
The area is sublimely quiet and beautiful and the deck and marvelous lawn were very well used!
Superb, Kath and Steve 😊

Not the best value
Had to come for nationals - booked 2 nights, a Lock down caused a scramble for new dates - had little to no feedback from Ange causing much anxiety - she did not confirm we could get half refund when we only needed 1 night instead of 2, and instead seemed to book the whole $800 for one night - ended up taking 2 nights just to make use of it. Not very reasonable in my opinion. Struggled to get any communication, even through Bookabach.
At the house the BBQ regulator knob does not work and is a safety hazard. House itself very clean and good finishes, but be aware it's still a converted hall so feels utilitarian. Towels in only one bathroom - not the other. Good spot (about the same as any lifestyle block in NZ) but not sure about value. Booked in the Auckland Hilton in a suit for the next night for the same money per night.
Apparently there is what I assume to be hard wired internet but no wifi, so no internet for most. A sign encourages you to load up on mobile data at your own cost - but with 1 bar of 3G that won’t really mean much either. Rest of the tech also pre-digital so not really usable.
Mention is made of ‘kiwi tradition’ to ask you to clean the place, while also agreeing to do a full Covid pre check-in clean, and charging a cleaning fee - for a Luxury unit - not sure you can have it both ways.
About 3 and a half stars over all.

Beautiful getaway
We wanted to stay in Hastings but wanted to try something different from the usual motel. This was beautiful right by the river which has lots of trout and eels in it. Peaceful away from the hustle and bustle. Be sure to punch into GPS the school house 242 Rochfort Road because there is another Rochfort Road which is 25mins away.

Fantastic getaway
Spring was the perfect time to visit. Horses with their foals, sheep, blossom trees and green pastures. Stunning scenery and location. Enjoyed biking the riverside trail from Craggy Range to the beach. The house was fantastic and tastefully transformed from historic school hall into comfortable accommodation. We can’t say enough positive things, the whole family loved it.

Idyllic peaceful haven
The School House is a fantastic place to chill out and relax. Set in farmland on the banks of the Tukituki river you feel like you are miles from anywhere but Havelock North with its fantastic wineries and restaurants is only a short drive away. The school house is well set up with everything you could possibly need and is very comfortable. We enjoyed it so much we ended up staying longer than we had planned to. Ange is a great host and made things very easy for us. We’d love to come back one day.

Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed six nights stay in the peaceful valley where the The School House is located. The positives for us as two couples staying was the space inside and outside, the well appointed kitchen, and the peace and quiet to relax in when we returned from our adventures out each day. The following are not negatives, but information for others looking to book this accommodation. The water view can only be taken advantage of if you stand at the bottom corner of the property, as plantings have grown to restrict the river views, and the lovely old floorboards mean that when one person arises in the morning, everyone is awake. The distance from town means you need to be sure to have all your supplies with you, as it is not a quick dash to pick something up that you have forgotten, and one thing I overlooked when booking was no access to the internet, which meant with a six day stay, we used all of our phone data in a very short time.
The word 'luxury' is used to describe this property, and without a doubt it is lovely, but personally I would not put it in the 'luxury' category.

Amazing house & location!
The School House is a beautiful historic building, and it was amazing to be able to stay there. The whole family (age range 10 to 80 years) enjoyed the location, and visiting the surrounding area. The kids especially enjoyed visiting Splash Planet and the water hole.
Ange the manager was really helpful during the booking and throughout our stay.

Gorgeous getaway alongside the river
The School House is an outstanding property. The house itself is fanstastic and the setting - in a picturesque location alongside the river with beautiful and expansive views - is amazing.
The School House has plenty of space and privacy but you still feel close to and part of the very lucky community who get to call this idyllic location home.
The house is spacious, light, bright and well equipped. It has been renovated thoughtfully and to a high standard.
We had a great stay, would happily return again and can readily recommend the property - particularly for a small group. Next time around I would also just load up with plenty of provisions before getting to the property so as to be able to just totally kick back and relax once there.

Thank you so much for the fabulous 3-day family break. The School House is beautifully presented and the location heavenly. Thank you for the thoughtful milk & bread and we so appreciated the DVD collection in the evenings. We'd love to come back for more wine-tastings,

We loved the location and the ambiance of The Schoolhouse. It is in a very peaceful setting and we will definitely return to this lovely spot. Angela was very friendly and helpful and was very quick to respond to our queries.
